Assignee.
The republican city-township conven
tion was held last evening at Turner ball
and was chiefly characterized by the quiet
and firm manner in which the proceedings
were managed by the chairman who held
the reins. There was no chance for a
kick or objection, although a desire to be
heard was frequently manifested, but as
frequently subdued by tbe prompt ad
monition cf the chair, "the ayes bave it,"
and that settled it. There was no appeal
from such decision . The convention in
fact got through with its business before
lue delegates those present with creden
tials, but who "weren't in it" fully
real z;d that it had begun, and tbe ma
jority, which ruled the fateful events of
the sight, left the hall with abundant
assurances of "what a model convention
we had tonight. "
It was S o'clock to a dot when Chair
man Collins, of tbe city-township com
mittee, called the convention to order and
urged that all the delegites huddle to
getber near tbe front of the ball, so
'hat all could hear. The i'ea was ac
cepted as a good one, and Mr. Collins read
the call urder which the convention had
assembled. The nomination of a chair
man being in order, Dr. Truesdale's name
was proposed and he was- elected. Tbe
doctor returned thanks and called for a
secretary. Joshua Ilasselquist was pro-
pesed for the position and be was elected
Tne chair suggested that In order to facil
itate matters the names of the delegates
be rebd and each respond to his name
when read. Tbe proposition did not
strike Delegate Ilutitoon favorably and
he moved the appointment of a commit
tee of ttrrc od crrcer.tmls. Tbe motion
Whs seconded, tut to sooner done so than
Mr. Huoto.m withdrew his motion. The

SILENT MEDITATION
siience tr.ai was utaiemng. men uo
rose Pr.if. Fo-s with a strious counten
ance hnd proposed a solution of tbe prob
lem. He proposed that the chairman of
eich delegation repoit the list of his re
spective delegation to the convention-
me ioea troK use wi:unre and was
quickly complied with. With the aid of
tbe gentlemen who had written the lists
and the convention generally, Secretary
Haselquiet read tbe names of the ac
credited delegates. The chair found
upon examination that the delegations
were "all full except the First watd." The
down town toys seemed to appreciate the
distinction, which was passed with the
adoption of tbe motion that tbe chairman
of tbe di:leiiiion fill the vacancy in his
number.
The convention spent considerable
time in determining how it should pro
ceed to vote. Prof. Fos3 and Adair
Pleasants were moved to speak oa differ
ent si les of the question. Mr. Foss
moved that the convention vote by ballot
and Mr. Pleasants reeved as an amend
ment tbat the convention vote by wards
The qustion was put and tbe amendment
carried. Several delegates were on their
feet with remonstrances. Tbe chair said
he was willing to submit tbe matter to a
division of the house, but it was sot in
sisted upon. J.N. H union and Adair
Pleasants were elected tellers. Tbe lat
ter asktd for instructions as to bis duties.
"Come np here and you will darned
soon find out," said Hunton. and Pleas
ants came submissively.
Frof . Foss did the convection a faor
by moving tbat there be no speeches in
presenting candidates. The motion pre
vailed. THE NOMINATION OF A SUI'EHVISOR
bting in order Conrad Schneider was
propos d and nominated by acclamation.
For assistant supervisors tbe names of
A. C. Peters-on, F. Ludolpb, William
Kicck, Charles Motz. L. V. Eckhart were
proposed. Mr. Eckhart withdrew his
name and tbe convention proceeded to a
formal ballot with the understanding that
tbe two per sous receiving tbe highest
number of votes be declared the nomi
nees.
"Ilow shall we vote? plead Delegate
McKown.
'Vote as you please," was the chair's
prompt response, and the convention
breathed easy again.
The baliot was taken and resulted:
Peterson 47 Ludolpb 20, Rinck 18, Motz
21. Messrs. Peterson and Molz were de-
declared tbe nominees.
The Domination oi a candidate lor as
sessor being next in order. J. H. Cleland
was named. lie was made the nominee
by acclamation.
GAMBLE'S TUB WO&O.
Now came the Domination of a candi
date for collector. W. J. Gamble's name
was proposed and a motion madi that he
be nominated by acclamation. Just at
that moment a voice in tbe rear of the
hall proposid Robert R. Lvnn. This
was followed by groans and a declaration
by Delegate J. H. Lloyd that the mt.n
who presented Lynn's name was not a
delegate. The gentleman plead guilty
to the impeachment and a delegate per
formed the duty. A forms. 1 baliot fol
